Former Senator Burton is EDITOR'S NOTE.—The Brit- | ish censor has passed for publi- cation the following *‘personal experience’” story of the latest < Zeppelin raid over London by William @. Shepherd, United Press staff correspondent. It is the first story to be thus ap- proved. It is also the first account that gives a complete insight in- to the British public’s behavior under the circumstances. It confirms the reports of the United Press Thursday that Wednesday night’s air raids were over the heart of London, although Shepherd is not per- mitted to say where he was nor to identify the section of the city where it occurred. (By William G. Shepherd.) (United Press Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1915, by United Press.) (Copyrighted in Great Britain.) London, Sept. 13.—It is Wednes- day night, Sept. 8. Above the din of the orchestra there sweeps over the theater a cavernous, bass boom. “Zeppelin,” whispers a pretty girl, sitting next to the Scotch officer. “No,” your hear him whisper, “it’s a door banging.” He's lying and knows it. “Zeppelin, Zeppelin!” The whisper runs through the au- dience. If you know what was trans- piring in the street you’d be out in- stead of waiting for the last act. Such a scene is being enacted out there as the old town of London, in all its early history, never has be- held. The curtain goes down. You file out of the theater into a crowded street. Traffic is at a standstill. Thousands stand gazing into the skies. There is century. Zeppelin Floats Above, Among the autumn stars floats a long gaunt Zeppelin. It is dull yel- low, the color of the harvest moon. The long fingers of a searchlight reaching up from a roof are touching all sides of the great death monster the climax to the 20th “on his way” toward this state and his platform of opposition to river and harbor grabs may win him a hearing. Another candidate whose figure is tolerably familiar in this state is Charles W. Fairbanks of In- diana who is said to be quietly organ- izing in this state. Looks like we are going to have a nice warm winter. The United States can,do nothing to hasten the conclusion of the Euro- pean conflict. Americans are helpless in this em- ergency. ‘We have not the power to compel nor the power to persaude the war- ring rulers of Europe to peace. The European nations involved ‘in this war appreciate its horiors. They must desire its ending as earnestly as neutral nations can, but they realize that, whether it was started foolishly or without ' just cause, iit must be fought' to a decisive result. Clearly the time is not ripe for American’ mediation.” The beést we can do is to be “watch- ful and ‘wait,” and be ready to offer our services at the proper time and indulge the hope that we are wit- nessing the final war of nations. ‘Who started” the moving picture show business? According to_the Chicago Herald, a man named Aaron: Jones is responh- sible, although -he ‘was not an in- ventor. In 1893 he was a newsboy in Chicago -with a large patronage and making:'some - meney. - At this time another - newsboy discovered something ‘and took it to Jones. Jones at once became interested and took up what was then called “a con- traption:iofi the devil” or “a thing-a- ma-jig.”..«It -was a machine that showed piétmres in motion. It was aierude:affair but it was new and the people became interest- ed: Jones joined “hands with this newsboy and the first entertainment was given in Waukegan in October, 1893. The first. picture show given in ber 26, 1904, at the old number of 191 State street. On January 1, 1905, there was only: one motion picture show'in Chicago in a dingy little room no larger than the small- est in the city. Now there are more then 260, with prices ranging from a nickel to $1. Jones and “his newsboy friend control four of the largest in the city and ‘theti” wealth is represented by five flgures.

Great booming sounds shake the city. They are Zeppelin bombs—falling —Xkilling—burning. Lesser noises of shooting are near- er at hand, the noises of aerial guns sending shrapnel into the sky. Don’t Light Matches. “For God’s sake, don’t do that,” says one ‘'man to another, who has just struck a match to light a cig- arette. ‘Whispers, low cries run all along the streets. “There’s a red light in the sky over there, our house may be burn- ing,” exclaims a woman, clutching at a man’s coat. “There are a million houses in London, why ours particularly,” he responds. A group of men talking French stand gazing up. They are in waiter’s clothes and have rushed out of one of the most luxurious ho- tels in the world. ““The devils,” exclaims one. “We've got it—it can’t get away. There’s shrapnel all around it.” ““Oh, my neck,” said a pretty girl in evening wraps. “I can’t look up a minute more.” But she does. Beautiful Women Watch. All about you are beautifully garb- ed women and men in evening clothes. “Ahs,” long drawn out, exclama- tions of admiration like the sounds made by American crowds watching fireworks, greet the brilliantly white fiashes of shrapnel. Suddenly you realize that the big- gest city in the world has become the night battlefield, on which 7,000,- 000 harmless men, women and chil- dren live. This is war at the very heart of civilization, threatening all that human hearts and human minds have created in past centuries. Mourners tonight will leave the sides of their dead to look into the sky fearfully. Little children, who TOO many people look and act and feel ‘older ‘than they should. If they kept their systems clear they would surely feel better -- brighter -- younger: “'But salts - ugh! -- and have said: “Now I lay me down,” ened and rushed into cellars to save them from death. There are more cries. ““Good:God! It’s staggering” as a shrapnel flash breaks, apparently near the great airship. Hope It Falls, But the Zeppelin moves on steadi- ly. What a roar of joy would go up from the millions of this great eity, it they. could suddenly see the yellow object transformed ‘into the flash of one gigantic gas explosion. Little white-gloved hands clap their approval at the Zeppelin’s near approach to death, white teeth sparkle in smiles, men roar with de- light. These men and women, flow- ers of 20th century culture, have be- come elemental. Dirty, bloody, battle-mad soldiers feel this same way in battle. Kill- ing has been put into the hearts of these crowds. If the mén up there in the sky think they are terrifying London they are wrong. They are only making England white-hot mad. Redness Fills Sky. The redness of a burning building fills' the sky. The dome of historic St. Paul’s cathedral looks up against the. redness. You pass the old church in a hurry. In a gateway stands an old verger. He has a bigger job on his hands than guards of the old church ever had. The verger’s white-haired wife stands beside him. They are talking with three girls, such as never come -into the lives of cliurch sextons except on nights like these. They are pointing out to the aged couple the slowly-fading yellow form of the Zeppelin. We are all brothers and sisters in the streets of London tonight— neither men nor women, neither good - |nor bad, just humans, outraged, mad. They typify London and England —unchanged one iota by this Zep- pelin raid that only ended in the loss of 20 harmless lives. The next day recruiting tripled. Liming Clover Land. According to a recent announcement of the Massachusetts station, liming soil increases the size of clover plants and the percentage of nitrogen in them. no matter whether the clover is grown on soils without an application of ni- trogen or supplied with sulphate of ammonia. There was a marked in- crease in the ability of the plant to gather nitrogen where lime had been applied. It is further concluded that sulphate of iron and sulphate of alu- minum are very harmful to the roots of clover plants. Carbonate and hy- drate of lime neutralize these injurious properties, however. School students will be able to se- pills and things are hard to take.
